Sometimes we are the obstacles between ourselves and a healthy relationship with God. When we don't forgive and we choose to hold on to what God wants us to let go of, we separate ourselves from Him and even hinder our own growth and healing processes. This week Emmanuel welcomes Leo Sanchez, a brother in the Lord and fellow tiktoker, to discuss his journey of coming to know Christ.

Feeling ugly and body dysmorphia are things many of us - if not all of us - have experienced in life. It's about time we realize that our looks are not indicative of our worth. Literally - Jesus didn't ask about the size of your forehead before He decided to die for you...

Rejection is something we all hate to experience. We fear it because it makes us feel like we are not enough or that something is wrong with us. However, the life of Jesus is an example of someone who remained the Son of God, even when the world rejected Him. In this episode I cover why rejection is nothing to fear, and has no power while you are walking in God's path.

Jesus dying for us means more than our sins being washed away. His death gave us access to a relationship with the Father, in which we have freedom, identity and purpose. In this episode I talk about how since we've accepted Jesus into our lives, we then no longer have to allow sin, failure and comparison to define us.
Note: These past couple of weeks I've been mourning the passing away of a loved one. I had to take time away, as I didn't even know what to say and did not want to talk to or about God. But I'm back because I rediscovered that God is good and loves us all even through death. Thank you all for the love. Love you, OJ.

First, prayer was always that boring, painstaking thing I had to do when I was a kid. Then it became the thing I only did when I was scared about the future. I've witnessed a lot of growth, and now prayer has truly become a peace-evoking action for me - here's how.
